Independence Day Speech for teachers

One of the best Independence day speech I have ever gone through. I Just want to share these with you as you are searching for independence day speech , independence day speech for students , speech on independence day, independence day speeches.

Good morning and my hearty greetings to you all on the occasion of the 67th Independence Day of India. The very mention of the word Independence brings back nostalgic memories to all those who love their beloved country. They are moments of sheer magic when a nation held in bondage for centuries breaks free from the shackles of foreign rule and breathes in winds of freedom.

The country that suffered slavery is the very country that has been admired by many in the West. We need to be proud of that legacy. No less a person than Albert Einstein has said of India: "We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made."

The famous German scholar Max Muller observed, "If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India." And Mark Twain who is known for his satirical comments observes seriously that India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only. Such a great nation that was the fount of wisdom is ours and ours only. But today, we see that freedom that was won by sacrifice, blood and toil is being taken for granted. Most Indians are not keenly appreciative of the blessings of being born an Indian.
